Modern Power Electronics and Drives

Catalog description

Power semiconductor switches: ratings, characteristics, power loss, temperature rise calculations, and control (MOSFETS, IGBT, Thyristors, IPM, IGCT). Review of AC voltage controllers, line commutated, uncontrolled, phase-controlled converters, twelve pulse converters. Voltage source inverters: single-phase and three-phase inverters. Mechanical dynamics in an electric drive - speed-torque characteristics of some common motors and loads, multi-quadrant operation, equivalent values of drive parameters, stability of an electric drive. General block diagram of a closed loop drive system - speed, torque, and position control.
